French
Cavalry Flintlock Carbine (1777 / AN IX model)

French 1777 Model
Flintlock Carbine or Musketoon
(MTS-021)
Introduced during the American Revolution, this carbine offered Light cavalry a
short, light, and versatile firearm for close quarter fighting - the
typical situation for Light Dragoons and Hussars.
During the said war,
the famous Lauzun's Legion of Hussars (image) carried this carbine at Franco-American
capture of Yorktown.
However this carbine's true fame was yet to come.

It was in the reign
of Napoleon that this firearm (AN IX version) became extensively used.
Lancers, Carbiniers a cheval, Artillery Train, and the Line Chasseurs a Cheval
all were issued with this carbine.
Even the Sapeurs of Infantry
Regiments found them ideal for their type of duties.
This carbine was
also provided to France's allies like Saxony.
It is for this
reason this carbine is a must for any Napoleonic collection.

Specifications

The unique element
of this carbine is its obviously unique profile with its long muzzle
section.
As well there is the double carrying methods of both musket slings
(two) for dismounted duties and sling swivel bar and rings for mounted
duty.
If the replica doesn't have these features, it isn't a 1777 French
Cavalry Carbine.

As the images attest, this
replica is quite well researched and assembled and faithful to the original.
The
seamless tempered barrel is made of modern carbon steel (type:BS970 no.080M40)
and the breech is tight.
We use a
industrial case-hardening factory process that makes sparking both more reliable
and longer lasting.
Presently no other musket provider uses this
technique.

As with all our
other flintlocks, the vent is not drilled (read details below) so we can ship easily to your door
throughout North America and to Europe and the UK.
Aside from that they
are exactly like
the originals.
A fine addition to any collection.

If upon receiving
your musket you are not completely happy with your purchase, you may return it
for a refund.
All we ask is you cover the shipping costs. It has to be returned in two weeks of receipt and be in its original state (unaltered and unmodified).
